KsoN sTANDARD: JACKSON, THURSDAY,

MoNDAY.-The old Presbyterian
Church is being dismantled. The seats
were sold to the Colored Baptist Church,
and removed to-day. The price paid was
fifty dollars 49,. Word was received here
couple of days ago that Otis Pettiford
was badly hurt on the Railroad. This
was since contradicted. His arm was
bruised some, but he was not seriously
hurt. I'VE saw couple of hopeful
Sons Of Veterans carrying a suspicious
looking creased pole towards the Rink
tonight. They are getting ready for the
initiation, Thursday night. An old
citizen, who years ago studied medicine
somewhat, tells a good one tonight,
regarding the profound method of
many doctors in making diagnoses of
cases. In Ross County, some years ago,
an only child in family took sick, and
the best medical skill available was call
ed in Several learned physicians piled
the little sufferer with all manner of pills
and powders, irritants and counter-irri-
tants. During the work the child's
grandmother came on visit. Entering
the sick room, where the ladies were tip
toeing about and the doctors looking wise,
as soon as her eyes fell upon the child she
exclaimed: "Law, the chizd's got the meas
les =" And so it was, IA heavy, soak
ing rain came to-night-the first real
one in many weeks.

Death of Barney O'Connor.

Bernard, or Barney" O'Connor, died at
his home in Wellston, on Thursday of last
week, in the 6sth year of his age. The
Argus says:
"He migrated to America in 1888 and
was married to Sarah Boughton in Pitts
burg in 1941. Barney as he was famil-
iarly called, came to Jackson County in
1859, and has lived in Wellston for more
than ten years.
Barney" located in Jackson before the
war, living for time in the house now
occupied by George Bartlett. He worked
here and there, a part of the time, if we
recollect correctly, driving team. When
the war broke out he and his son John
enlisted, and were good soldiers, the old
gentleman sustaining an injury which
disabled him. We always thought Bar
ney ought to have been placed upon the
Pension Roll, but he never was. In 1871,
Barney was Marshal of Jackson, and
during his time there was the largest
street row in the history of jackson, per-
haps. Barney did his best to keep the
peace during his term, and while he was
a faithful officer, was a courteous gentle
man. He drove a dray here for some
time, and afterward began the manufac-
ture of brick. When town of Wellston
was founded, he moved thither. and re-
manned until his death. Mrs. Dan. Swaney,
Mrs Hen. Harris, and Mrs. Steve Ben
nett, of this place, are his daughters.
There will be a feeling of loneliness
among the friends of the old soldier here,
that he is gone. He was a member of
James Smith Post, G. AR.

One of the most difficult features in teaching
of the character of Jesus is to impres a true
idea of the human side of his character. Christ
is the type of true Christianity-a Cody char
acter, associated with the trials and sufferings
of man. His life, in the beginning of his min
istry, at the time he was baptised of John in
the Jordan, was strikingly significant of the life
of the Christian to-day. AS soon as Jesus has
gone through with the ordinance of baptism,
Satan began to tempt him, by every artifice
known to the Evil One. AS soon as soul con-
meets itself with Church organization to-day,
and signifies desire to live according to the
Divine Law, the Evil One exerts himself to his
utmost to secure the downfall of that soul. The
same sneers and taunts are used. 'If thou be
the Son of God command that these stones be
made bread" said Satan to Jesus, on the noun
tain. "If you Christian, why do you suf-
fer?" says Satan to the suffering soul to-day.
The victory over Satan must come to each one
just as it came TO Jesus-by commanding the
Evil One, in the ma. ae of the power of God, to
go hence

The wife Of Boyd Hopping, a
wealthy farmer living near Xenia, died
a fewmonths ago, and Boyd secured the
services of young widow as house
keeper, he having several children and
his aged mother living with him One
day last week Boyd and his SON
twenty years old-had row, which
was kept up until the mother of Boyd
interfered, when, as the report goes,
he seized huge stone and attempted
to assault the old lady with it when
the boy disarmed him. He then got
a shotgun, and cooking both barrels
aimed them at the old lady, when the
neighbors seized and disarmed him.
Placed in cell, he stated that his
son wanted to marry the housekeep-
er, and to avoid this he had decided to
marry her himself. Hence the fuss.
Boyd Hopping is described as being a
very good man, member Of Church,

LESSON V. The Temptation of Jesus.
Matt. 4. Ill.

Matt. 4. Ill.
Then was esus led up of the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had tasted forty days and for
ty nights, he was afterward a hungered.
s And when the tempter came to him he said,
If thou be the Son of God, command that these
stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, 1t is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth OF God.
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy
city. and setteth him pinnacle OF the tenn
pie.
6 And he saith unto him, If thou be the Son
of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He
shall give his angels charge concerning thee:
and in their han Is they shall bear thee up, lest
at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said unto him, 1t is written again.
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Again, the devil taketh him up into an OK
ceeding high mountain, and showeth him all
the kingdoms of the world, and tn e glory of
them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will
give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship
me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence,
Satan, for it Is written, Thou shalt worship the
Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
IL Then the devil Ieaveth him, and, behold,
angels came and ministered unto him.
